Forensic nursing?

i'm an LPN wanting info. how to become a forensic nurse

The best way is to call your state board and find out the particular licensure requirements in that state. From there you will need to find a properly accredited school. Licensure requirements on nursing vary from state to state, and not all online programs are acceptable in all states. For instance, I got my nursing license because of the time that I spent working on a med-surg ward as a Navy Corpsman. This is enough to fill the requirement for a CA or FL LVN, since the time that I last checked, but it does not transfer to other states. If I wanted to work in nursing in the state where I currently live, I would have to go back to school. It really depends on the state that you live in and the only one who can really accurately answer is your state board. Their number can be found with a web search or by looking on the back of your license.
